Dear Sun managers

I have an iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 running on a Solaris 8 machine to
authenticate clients to Unix hosts using LDAP. Authentication using
logon account stored centrally stored in directory server is working
fine. But I have a different question, once a unix host is initialised
with ldapclient command to accept LDAP for logon authentication any body
who has an account in the directory server can login. But I don't want
to happen this as some of the unix hosts are restricted only for
administrators. I was informed that I have to use Role Base Access
Control to restrict users from different hosts. But I couldn't find any
documentation any where how to do this. Does any one know how to add a
policy or configure this in /etc/security/policy.conf, /etc/user_attr,
etc to control access for unix hosts? I am sure some one has done this
previously. Any suggestions and advices are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
